Cologne is a new Coleco Vision emulator, to run on the GBA.

It is written by Flubba.

I spent a couple of days hacking SMSAdvance into a Coleco emulator.

I also hex hacked the builder so watch out for falling debris.

Some problems do exist, some games crash/freeze others are missing correct controls.

Reip has recently updated his MAME log.

Working hard on Eolith games. This time I could make Hidden Catch  - ©1998 Eolith to work.

It suffered from a nasty bug in the Hyperstone cpu core, because it used a memory instruction which

reads data from the memory address stored in the source register, writes the data read in the

destination register and then increments the source register by 4, but... if source and destination registers

are the same? Well, it only incremented the register instead of reading the data from memory

without incrementing it. This is strange because they could have used a normal

instruction which does the same but doesn't increment the source register, but anyway....

probably the compiler was a bit crap

Nintendo is hoping North American gamers are ready to strain their brains the way Japanese have already, as today they announced the first two games in their Brain Age series.

 

The first taste of this series will come in the Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day flavor, due out on April 17. Gamers (and the non-gamers this game is obviously hoping to attract) will then get to give the old noodle a spin again with Big Brain Academy just over a month later on May 30.

 

While there are fifteen different tasks like word memorization and counting, the hallmark of Brain Age is the inclusion of Suduko puzzles. With its recent surge in popularity, odds are you might see more people pulling out their Nintendo DS on the train or subway not because they want to save the princess, but because there's a ridiculous Suduko puzzle that's driving them crazy.

 

Nintendogs kicked off Nintendo's aim for a unique type of Nintendo DS 'game,' and the Brain Age series looks to continue it. It's not a new Super Mario Bros. platformer, but hey, at least it's different.

Will it suceed? Will it offer more people to jump on the DS bandwagon? Will it sell more then Electroplankton?
